Dutch process cocoa powder darkens the crust, but if you can't find it, regular works fine. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons dutch process cocoa |
16 chocolate wafer cookies |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
cooking spray |
2 large egg whites |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons water |
1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream |
1 tablespoon grated orange rind |
1/4 cup fresh orange juice |
1 cup fresh cranberries |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons water |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. To prepare crust, combine first 3 ingredients in a food processor; process until finely ground. With motor running, pour butter through food chute; process until well blended. Divide crumb mixture evenly among 8 (6-ounce) straight-sided ramekins coated with cooking spray; press mixture into bottoms of ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking sheet; bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until toasted. Cool completely.
3. To prepare filling, place egg whites and salt in a bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Combine sugar and 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 250°. Gradually pour hot sugar syrup in a thin stream into egg white mixture, beating at medium speed, then at high speed until stiff peaks form. Reduce mixer to medium speed; beat until mixture cools (about 8 minutes).
4. Allow ice cream to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or until very soft; stir rind and orange juice into ice cream. Fold one-third of egg white mixture into ice cream mixture. Gently fold remaining egg white mixture into ice cream mixture. Divide mixture evenly among ramekins; freeze for 8 hours or overnight.
5. To prepare the compote, combine 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and stir in liqueur. Cover and chill for 4 hours or overnight. Unmold tortes; serve with cranberry compote.
